They make me poor :/ and they sell stuff likethankfull statues and stuff wich dont sell etc :( ughAnd also, how do you sell expensive stuff?They ask if i have a weapon, i present them something that costs like 3500 and no matter wath i do they wont buy it! I whent as low as 70% of the base price! they still didnt buy it!

For orders, the customers have a fixed amount of money. So if they got only 2k on them and you offers something of 10k for 5k )so 50%) they still wonnt buy it. You need to start selling cheap stuff and than work your way up. That little girl (the cheapskate) regularly buys for 20k from me :). So does the guildmaster. However that old man still is poor in my game. But customers have a fixed amount of money. Keep that in mind. Elder people have more to spend to kids. etc.

I honestly find it hilarious when people come to sell me things. "My grandmother used to treasure this..." *guy hands me a piece of cake*. Better yet, it reminds me of the time when I had young men swarming my shop for swords, or women trying to buy all of my sweet foods. God, I love this game.

Each customer has a level too. I think once you sell them enough items they will "level up" and have more money to spend. You can't sell them "relatively" expensive items. Hold them till later.

To expand on this a little: when customer rep increases, you'll get a little heart during the transaction, so look out for those. Rep levels up faster if you treat the customers right. Haggling is bad and hitting those pin bonusses is good. Sell at around 50%, 105-110%, 230-250% for price-down, normal or price-up items, respectively, and buy at 30-40%, 60-75% and 100-110% (unsure of the last one).

The budgets start out pretty low (between 600 and 3000), but increases 10-fold for the first heart. After that, I think the increase is only 10% with each later heart. More details can be found on the budget wikia page[recettear.wikia.com].

Oh, and about selling expensive items that no-one seems to want: try putting them in a vendor.

Until your customers max out you can only move premium items by placing them in a sell order with something cheap (ie Odd Vase and Unthankful Statue as a 2 treasure order). If a speech bubble heart appears after a deal, their budget just increased. Adventuring seems to increase that character's money pool as well, but that may just be me seeing things that aren't there.
